“A random act of kindness, no matter how
small, can make a tremendous impact on someone else’s life.”
~ Roy T. Bennett
I don’t
generally drink soda, but every so often, I do indulge in my absolute favorite –
orange soda. Recently, after completing
several errands, I decided it was time for the rare treat. As I grabbed the plastic bottle from the
drugstore refrigerated case, I remembered an orange soda that one of my dearest
mom friends left for me several years ago.
One of my children had nearly fainted at a school Mass and was carried
out by a teacher. Worried and scared, I
had rushed my daughter to the doctor’s office.
When we left the doctor a while later, I found my favorite orange soda
waiting for me on the door of my car. I
was overwhelmed by my friend’s thoughtfulness and her gesture put a huge smile
on my face after a rough couple of hours.
Some might think that it was a small thing, but the fact that I remember
that kindness more than seven years later indicates otherwise. I am constantly amazed by the lasting impact
of kindness.
